The purchase of DESTINYS OAK in 2003 was after much thought and serious consideration. Bred by Richard Bull of Tamarang, this young colt was from one of Tamarangs finest female family's which have proven themselves time and time again. DESTINYS OAK was to join a select band of mares with heritage Australian Stockhorse bloodlines that are bred to work all day out mustering with the potential to perform at a top level in a variety of disciplines.

DESTINYS OAK has top performance bloodlines, sired by Australia's No.1 Challenge and Campdraft sire, ACRES DESTINY IMP USA and out of SWEET SUSIE OAK, a very own daughter of DOCS FRECKLE OAK. The cross of  DOC FRECKLE OAK/SUSIES DREAM, has produced outstanding performance horses across a wide variety of equestrian sports both here in Australia and in the US cutting scene.

DESTINYS OAK, has plenty to offer our small band of broodmares. As you can see, DESTINYS OAK has top performers on every line of his pedigree. DESTINYS OAK has had limited competition due isolation. He finish in the Top 20 in his challenge debut at the Cloncurry Stockman's Challenge, an event that is set as the benchmark for Australia's finest 3, 4 & 5 year olds. We were pleased with the result  as he had limited preparation due to injury.

Relocation

Due to our remoteness at Allandale, DESTINYS OAK has relocated to the South East of Australia, 2 hours from Adelaide on the Dukes Highway. We have been extremely impressed with the foals from previous seasons, in particular those from the ASH & ASB mares. Young stock possess movement, presence, speed, trainability and most of all, temperament!  If you would like to view DESTINYS OAK or some of his progeny we would by only too happy to take you through the paddocks and show you some of his youngsters.
